Visit with Santa

We went to see Santa and they both enjoyed the visit.   Jennifer and Amos went with us and I got a cute picture of Amos and Si with Santa.  Anna had had enough.  I am so excited about Christmas this year.  They are both filled with such wonder and excitement.  What a joy it is to watch your children grow.  

I am making a concerted effort to focus on Jesus this Christmas, and less on Santa.   I found some great Children's books and we will be reading nightly.  As a Christian, I feel it is so important to teach my children about the true reason for all the excitement. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are truly thankful! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Silas and Anna enjoyed a Thanksgiving party at school before embarking on our journey to Kentucky.  Jennifer took the kids to the party given I had to work.  Looks like they had fun!  We spent Thanksgiving at Gina and J.D.'s house.  We had a great time spending time with our family.  It is our year to head to Paducah for Christmas, so we celebrated Christmas a little earlier with my side of the family.  We are so blessed to have such a loving and supportive family.  I thank God daily for the blessing of our family.

The two Annas.  They are in  the same class and Silas is best friends with Anna's big brother Luke.

Ashley Warren of Warren Studios took our photos in October and they turned out beautiful!! These are just a few.  Anna was so cold.  I felt so bad I forgot her coat.  She was a trooper and we got some great shots!  Thanks Ashley!
